In September 2003, central Minnesota's Rocori High School, had a shooting incident that killed two students, Aaron Rollins and Seth Bartell.

It has happened again in Minnesota, this time at the Red Lake Indian Reservation, about 240 miles north of the Twin Cities.

In the worst school shooting since Columbine, a student, whose name has not been released, first shot his grandparents, then he went to his high school and killed 6 students and wounded 14 to 15 more. He was found dead at the scene. It is believed that he killed himself.

There are few details as of yet, but it is being reported that all the dead were in one room. Tribal fire marsal Roman Stately told reporters the shooter entered the school around 2pm, shot a security guard, then walked down the hall to a classroom where he shot a teacher and more students. He was armed with a shotgun and two handguns.

There is no word on a motive at this time.
